Designed by renowned Argentine architect Alejandro Bustillo in a Neoclassical style with French influences, the Шаблон:Convert building occupies an entire city block and was inaugurated in 1944.

With a dome Шаблон:Convert in diameter, the building is a National Historic Landmark.

History

Шаблон:Expand section The headquarters are located in the San Nicolás neighborhood of Buenos Aires on the site of the Teatro Colón's first building, bought by the national government in 1888 and later designated as main offices of the recently founded national bank. The edifice was remodeled in 1910 by architect Adolfo Büttner to better suit its new role.

In 1938 Alejandro Bustillo presented a new design for a much larger, Шаблон:Convert structure, which was built in two stages between 1940 and 1955.[1] Шаблон:Multiple image

The building is also home to the Alejandro Bustillo Art Gallery, established in 1971, as well as to a historic and numismatic museum.[2]
